Moving stocks off slow, expensive, decades-old trading infrastructure and onto transparent, low-cost rails shouldn’t be controversial I understand companies wanting to know who their shareholders are. But tokenization allows that, automatically identifying all wallets who hold their stock The idea that somehow tokenized stocks will "confuse" investors or lead to less liquidity seem like red herrings to me
THE BLOCK: Nine companies, including CoreWeave, Broadcom, Verizon and UnitedHealth, have objected to tokenized versions of their shares trading on OKXICE, the OKX-ICE joint venture. Nasdaq also says it will opt out of having its own shares tokenized under the SEC framework.

Two new records for ProtocolNanoGPT! @janson002 pushed the record from 84,813s -> 72,443s by adding quantisation on top of MAPL, the activation compression method used in their previous submission. Then "random_sequence" took it even further, dropping the record from 72,443s → 17,784s, a massive jump! The latest submission "Optimized pipeline-parallel training" brings seconds per step down from 10.61s -> 3.09s, while also reducing the steps needed to reach the target loss from 6825 -> 5750.

Over two weeks, Prime Agent orchestrated a swarm of over 2,000 agents to rewrite itself in Rust. With 10,000+ sandboxes, 200B+ GLM-5.3 tokens, and 16,000 agent-to-agent messages, this was our largest test yet of Prime Agent’s multi-agent capabilities and our infrastructure powering these agent swarms. Prime Agent now reaches usable input ~13× faster and uses 83% less startup memory than before.
